Hi, all
I've not really had time to experiment much with the libraries in the last couple of Poser Versions, but since installing PPro 2010 last week, I've been checking it out, and I did take a few minutes for a simple test..
I took a typical product (in this case Vincent Parker character from CP), and test-installed it into one of my blank Poser Runtimes.  It has the character, hair, mat files, animations, etc.  I swapped the folders out of the various libraries and nested them into a main Char-Vincent Parker folder in the Character library.  Inside this is a folder with VP Animations, one with VP Hair, and below the VP Hair folder a VP Hair-MAT folder.
Then I plunked this construction into my main PPro 2010 Runtime and fired up the program.
Not only did PPro 2010 "see" the .HR2 and PZ2 files nested in the Character library, it also applied them flawlessly.   What a great feature!  Have any of the other versions of Poser been able to do this?
I can see there may be some complications involving saving files in "foreign" formats nested below folders, but this single feature  solves one of my biggest gripes about Poser's Library system - having to scatter MATs, props, and pose files for a given product willy-nilly all over the library structure and then having to remember what and where support files are for a given project.
Is this something everyone else already knew about, and I'm just late to the party? or is it something new in PPro 2010?
I LIKE it!
